i've a got a shakle hanger drop, with a belltech cnotch, i got a helper bag kit from air lift. since i have a cnotch the 59103 kit can not be installed in the suggested spot on the frame. i spoke with the tech support at air lift and they said i need the bracket for the belltech c notch, they sent it to me and it is supposed to bolt on to the existing bolts ,,,but the holes are not even close. so this one does not even fit. any suggestions?

Drill new holes and make spacers. That's what I did for my helper kit.

so i figured i drill new holes and go from there. i placed the brackets with the installing tool and realized that when fully compressed the bag is about about 3 inches plus with their brackets and the inch and a half for the valve-- that means that at my ride height i only have about 6 inches between the bed frame and the leaf spring. if any of this makes sense that would mean that with my cnotch the bag with the least amount of air would bottom out and restrict the travel i have. so when i dont carry a load which is most of the time..the ride would be compromised.

I wanted to run a similar setup with my Tahoe. I was advised that the airlift kit works only with a Flipkit, not with shakles, hangers and de-arched leaf springs (my case). And you must use the belltech c-notch to properly fit the bag mounts. There must be that space between the frame and the leaf spring where the top and bottom mounts fit.

For my de-arched springs AirRide Technologies suggested their AirOverLeaf Rear leaf spring bag kit ARK3002. They claimed it will run with out a c-notch mounted on the side of the frame and to the leaf spring. :D
